Pass or Fail:

The caption on the infobox image is rather long. See Wikipedia:CAP#Succinctness. The commentary is duplicated in the main text, so I question it's value as a caption. SilkTork *^YES! 11:17, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Prose is clear and readable. Article meets relevant MoS issues, apart from WP:Lead, a common failing. Many editors view the lead as an introduction, though the guideline indicates that it should serve as a mini standalone article. The production details - such as used in the image caption - would be useful in the lead. SilkTork *^YES! 11:22, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well researched and well presented, this is a model for how to write about tv episodes. SilkTork *^YES! 11:33, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very fine article. The only main issue is the lead, which needs building up to reflect more fully the contents of the article. There is a question mark about the caption, and that could be solved by moving the second sentence to the lead. Putting on hold for seven days to allow the lead to be built up.

Hold extended for seven days as nominator has not logged in. SilkTork *^YES! 13:36, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sincere apologies for being so absent from the site, and thank you for your prompt on my talk page. The lead section has been expanded somewhat, to three paragraphs, and the infobox image caption cut down to a one-sentence description. Super Mario Man 21:57, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pass

Good work. No worries about the delay, real life happens. If you hadn't checked in by the next deadline I'd have probably done the work myself - it would have been inappropriate to fail an article so close to GA standards. This is a pass. SilkTork *^YES! 15:46, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! All the best. Super Mario Man 18:01, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
